Kos Asklipieion!

Kos historical sites include the ruins of Kos Asklipieion or Asklepieion. They are at the top of those important ancient sites in the Island of Kos. The beautiful site of Kos Asklipieion is on the hill in Platani, about 3.5 kilometres at the southwest of the beautiful Kos Town.

Pine trees cover the hill and make this area one of the beautiful sites in Kos Island. In addition, from the top of the hill, people enjoy beautiful scenes of Kos Town and Turkey across the Aegean Sea.
